Paladino talks about Gay pride parades on 'Today'

During an interview on the ‘Today’ show this morning, Carl Paladino sought to clarify his stance on gays: he doesn’t want them to get married or want children brainwashed into being gay, because gay people face discrimination. And Carl Paladino wouldn’t want that.

“I have no problem with it whatsoever,” he explained to Matt Lauer. “It’s a very, very, very difficult thing. The discrimination against homosexuals is terrible. I have a nephew and many other homosexuals who work for me.”

He did seem to have a problem with the Gay Pride parade, and attacked his Democratic opponent Andrew Cuomo for taking his daughters to one. (I’m not 100 percent sure that’s true….) He also reiterated his opposition to same-sex marriage.

“I’m not talking about him being brainwashed, I’m talking about young children,” Paladino continued. “Exposing them to homosexuality, especially at a gay pride parade — and I don’t know if you’ve ever been to one — but they wear these little Speedos and they grind against each other and it’s just a terrible thing.”

“I don’t think it’s proper for them to go there and watch a couple of grown men grind against each other. I don’t think that’s proper. It’s disgusting,” he said.
